The Children's Aid Society of Toronto brought a motion for summary judgment seeking an order that a child be placed in interim care and custody of the society for six months, with access to the half-brother and his partner at the society's discretion.
The half-brother opposed the motion.
The court found that there was no genuine issue requiring a trial.
The child had been removed from the half-brother's care following allegations of physical abuse and subsequent criminal charges.
The half-brother's bail conditions prohibited contact with the child.
The child had expressed a clear desire not to return to the half-brother's care and had formed strong emotional attachments to her current foster placement.
The court granted the society's motion for summary judgment, placing the child in interim care and custody of the society with access at the society's discretion.
